The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterpiece that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin, Germany. It was designed by Emil Fahrenkamp and was built in 1930–31. In retrospect it is regarded as Fahrenkamp’s masterpiece and one of the most significant office block designs of the Weimar Republic (see Wikipedia).
This shell may itself be a ghost - it seems to be stalking something, doesn't it? For We're Here! who investigating ghosts in shells today and for my POTD.
Smile on Saturday - Shells
Came across this hinged mussel shell when walking the dog in Gunners Park, not far from East Beach, Shoeburyness. Picked it up and popped in on a pyracantha bush nearby !!
In most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. The external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous
(Nacre also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs (like mussels) as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent)

SAME SHELLS.. TUTUFA
from the bottom now, are they small or are they big?
Tutufa is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Photography can play games with our visual perception, LOL
A series of ‘nautical’ subjects. It can be anything, just seeing different scenes that attracted my attention.
Pure photography.

I put the shell on the rock to photograph it when the wave came it. I thought the wave would go around the rock but as the tide was come in it went over the rock and was a current of bubbles.

coquille
Je suis tombé pour nager
et j'ai laissé mon coeur en arrière
J'ai laissé mon coeur vers le bas
comme la coquille dans le sable
I fell to swim
and I left my heart back
I left my heart down
like the shell in the sand

The soft pink colour of this shell was enhanced by bouncing a bit of light back in with a pink post it note just out of frame top left. The bleaching was a simple one click effect using Smart Photo Editor.
The smallest shells in my collection, which I brought many years ago from Bulgaria. This bigger one is exactly 20mm long :)
